| Summary: | In order to maximize effectiveness,
every national education system needs a comprehensive and
coherent approach to student assessment. The systems
approach for better education results (SABER) framework for
student assessment identifies four key elements in this
regard: classroom assessment, examinations, national large
scale assessment, and international large scale assessment.
Armenia has undoubtedly made significant progress in all of
these areas since gaining independence from the Soviet Union
in 1991. The purpose of this paper is to describe Armenia’s
experiences, share the lessons learned along the way, and
point out the challenges that countries face in trying to
ensure that their assessment systems remain fit for purpose
in a changing environment. |
